I'm using firefox-esr on 11.2/amd64 and I don't have so many problems (although it sometimes hangs and I've incurred in a couple of bugs). What FreeBSD version are you using? Did you read pkg message? Other details on your system? > what's the alternative? Now, that's a good point; so far my dislike of FireFox is constantly growing, by I failed to find an alternative. What I tried: _ Chromium: while I just don't like it in general (and I don't like FireFox more and more mimicking it), it's the OmniBar which make me avoid it at all costs; _ PaleMoon: more or less worked (altough some sites refuse it), but it's now gone like SeaMonkey; _ Falkon: seems quite light; unfortunately it hangs much more frequently than FireFox (I'll try again after the upgrade to 11.3). If someone comes up with other options I might be glad to try them :) bye & Thanks av.
